Stools

Bar Stool Hire isn't just for bars and parties. They make a great contemporary choice for exhibitions and events, and look great with poseur tables.

If you’re looking for a more contemporary set up to your event or occasion, bar stools make a great alternative to chairs. They can be paired with poseur tables or used on their own to give a great seating solution.

What do I need to know about stools for hire?

Bar stools are normally taller than chairs with a seat height normally of 90 cm rather than 60cm. There are various designs out there which have different features to consider. Stools can come with or without a seat back; with or without a swivel and with or without a gas lift pedal.

In our experience of furniture hire, bar stools tend to be used for more informal events. These can range from events with a bar setting to things like networking events and seminars. The nature of a set up of bar stools and poseur tables leans towards people sitting closer together and in a more relaxed manner, which is great for events where the aim is for people to connect and share ideas.

What kinds of bar stools are available from Expo Hire?

At Expo Hire, our bar stool hire collection is one of the largest ranges we offer. Whether you're after classic cube-style stools, modern gas-lift stools, or rugged metal stools for an industrial vibe, we've got you covered with options to suit every event.

The most popular stools in our range are gas-lift stools. These versatile stools feature a two-part design: a seat made from materials like ABS plastic or faux leather and a chrome metal base that contains a gas canister. This mechanism allows the height to be easily adjusted by moving the lever under the seat. Plus, the seat swivels 360 degrees, making it perfect for networking events or mobile bars where flexibility and movement are key.

For a more formal look, our cube stools are a great option. With fixed metal or wooden legs in a square footprint, these stools don’t swivel, making them ideal for seated arrangements around a poseur table or similar. They’re often used at seminars and conferences where a more structured seating arrangement is needed.

We also offer Tolix-style stools for those going for a rugged, industrial aesthetic. Made from durable metal, these stools are a popular choice for bars and events with a more modern or urban theme.

No matter the look or vibe you're after, our diverse range of bar stools for hire can help create the perfect setting for your event.

Rely on us for your stools to be delivered safely

We clean and check all of our stools for hire before we ready them for dispatch. Most stools are not stackable, which is something to bear in mind if you need to store them for any period of time. However, you do not need to be concerned about assembly.

How delivery and collection works

Working out delivery costs is easy with Expo Hire; simply use our carriage calculator to find which of our branches is near to you. Tap your postcode in and it will confirm not only whether we cover that postcode or not, but also which of our 11 branches is closest to you and the cost for delivery from that branch, as well as the list of possible extra charges.

Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you place your order.

Want to know when your delivery is coming? You can track your driver using our real time maps on the day of delivery and collection.
